What a great article in the June edition about cats (Digest Pets). Growing up in the 1950s, almost every family had a cat, mainly tabbies. I always thought I would have a cat of my own but reached my 70s catless – until six months ago when my daughter-in-law found me a soulmate. Storm, a two-year-old rescue cat, and I have a special bond – although he breaks all the rules I set. However, my health has improved: my blood pressure is down, aches and pains eased, less tension – and my doctor says I am in better shape. If you live alone, why not open your home and heart to one of these special little creatures?
